What it's really about
The situation
The forty-five minute slot that shows up in your calendar with no agenda, booked by someone in HR you have never met. Nobody says what it is about; everybody understands. The invite already does more damage than the meeting.
Why those numbers
Eight story points: enough to stop a properly geared level 5 cold, not enough to be a wall. The -2 against the Influencer role is the real mechanical joke — the HR Dragon knows exactly what to do with someone whose personal branding outgrew their output. Side effect: one level gone. A PIP, essentially.
How to play it
A mid-game bug. Taking it at level 4 with no gear means a reassignment roll of 5 or more, and a lost level if the die says no. Two goodies on the table: often worth asking for a pair.
Bugs
What you pull from the Tickets pile. Your velocity has to land strictly above their story points — and your friends will inflate them.
